Leaf springs
Hey guys. Will leaf springs off 72-80’s trucks bolt on to my 71 w200 Dana 60?

Re: Leaf springs
Conditional yes...
Bolt in? Yes
Same bushings? Yes
Same locator pin size/location? Probably not.
Same wheelbase? Nope
Same lower shock mounts? Maybe
Same weight rating? Maybe
D100/200 and W100/200 have the same frame and springs.
Axles through 93, including 350 series will bolt in. But, your steering parts may not work with newer front axles.
You can also fit “some” GM and Fomoco springs/axles.

If I didn't build it, it ain't mine.

Re: Leaf springs
That applies for both front and rear I assume?

Yes
A local associate is running 1992 350 4wd axles front and rear under a 66 D100. 60s vs 90s there are some steering issues to reengineer. He went with hydraulic rams, think John Deere, technically no longer street legal. Drives it on the road anyway.
